Haiper, whose serious illnes was noted in the last issue of the News, died at her home in this place last Wednesday morning about 5:30 o'clock, the membra of her immediate family all imng present at the time. Her death was like one falling into peaceful sleep, so quietly and and peacefully did the end come. She was conscious almost to the last and talked freely with the memlwrs of the family during the day Tuesday, giving directions for the distribution of some chanties and other gifts she bad prepared for the approaching Holidays. 8he was fully aware of her condi tion and expressed surprise that one could be so happy and recon ciled at the approach of death. Truly a most estimable woman has passed from our community and one whose place will be hard to fill. .Possessed of all the Christian rirtues and endowed with unusual faculties ot heart and mind, she was beloved by everybody and in turn loved everybody. A cherry word aud a pleasant smile, she hud for all and she was particlarly thought ful of little children, possessing the rare faculty of makiug them happy and oi being happy with them. Her thoughts were so pure and high that she saw the good in every body and cast the mantle of ' charity over the weaknesses and frailties of humanity. The deceased was the daughter of J.he laU; Kev. Jesse Hankiu, the founder of the Presbyterian chinch in Lenoir, and she was one of the original memlwrs of that church and lived consistent with its doct rines and teachings all her life. She was in the seventy third year of her age and is survived by her husband, Maj. G. YV. F. Harper, two children, .Mr. G. F. Harper aud Mrs. J. M. Bernhardt, one full sister, MYs. W. H. Clovd and one half sister Mrs. E. K. Hall, now in Texas. The funeral was conducted from the Presbyterian church, yesterday at 2 o'clock and the interment was in the town cemetery. The business houses of the town were closed as a mark of respect and the large number of persons present, attested the high esteem in w hich the deceased lady was held by our entire community regardless of condition or color. doosing a Christmas Present. When you make a present to a friend or a family you are really selecting a companion to influence them for good or ill during a whole year. If the acquaintances of your sons and daughters were to talk to them aloud as some periodi cals talk to them silently, how quickly you would forbid the com panionship! In the one case as in tbe other, the best course is to supplant the injurious with some thing equally attractive and at the same time "worth while." A food can be wholesome and utterly distasteful. Reading can be made 80, too. But The Youth's Com panion not only nourishes the mind, but delights it, just like that ideal h'uman associate whom you would choose. The Youth's Companion fills that place now in more than half a million homes.
